Since its triumphant IPO in early June, Circle (issuer of USDC) has seen its stock soar by +168% 📈, ending at ~83 $ after opening at 31 $. This stock market success reflects the growing confidence in stablecoins like USDC, now seen as a pillar of the digital financial system.
On the technological front, USDC has deployed on new blockchains: the XRPL (XRP Ledger) and World Chain, thanks to the CCTP V2 protocol, facilitating fast and inexpensive cross-chain transfers 🌐. This expansion strengthens its position as a regulated, robust, and ubiquitous digital dollar.
On the regulatory level, the passage of the GENIUS Act in the US Senate imposes fully liquid reserves, monthly audits, and strict AML/KYC oversight — a framework particularly favorable to USDC in comparison to its rivals. Circle clearly benefits from this regulatory clarity, unlike less transparent players.
Finally, the continued adoption: partnerships, such as with Rise for international payroll (650 M $), come to support the real use of the stablecoin 💳.
